It always surprises me how free people are to comment in others, especially strangers. We are a mixed race family – not strange for us, but so we were reminded this past weekend, still strange for South Africa. Over the years we have kind of gotten used to the odd looks, honestly hubby notices them more than I do. But now that we have kids I notice it more. I suppose in the past people may not have know for sure that we were married – maybe they thought we were dating or just colleagues or something. By now with two cute kids in the mix the amount of double takes has dramatically increased. (By the way we haven't settled on the term mixed race yet – I like dual heritage – it sounds posher!)
When Jenny was born I had the odd person, usually a stranger (and usually a Pick N Pay staff member!) ask if she was adopted. My standard answers is 'No, She is homemade!' – that is usually good for a few blushes! I haven't been asked in a long time about Jenny and so far no one has asked me about Liam (at least not directly). But this weekend for the first time it was hubby that was quizzed. He was stopped by two ladies who asked did he steal the baby! In some ways it is funny, but is also really sad that we are such a curiosity.
I understand why race is an issue – for too long people have been treated so badly and unfairly just for the colour of their skin, for their culture and heritage. It is hard to get over it and let it go, especially when it still happens, whether consciously or unconsciously. I hope for my kids that they will embrace the fact that they are a mixture of Ireland and Malawi, but that people would be curious to know them as people, not just by how they look. I'm praying that our kids will not be defined and limited by their colour or their parents' – instead their talents, skills, humanity, humour, kindness and position in Christ will define them, not other people's perceptions and biases.
Galatians 3.28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
There is neither Malawian nor Irish, neither black nor white, nor is their male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus …

More and more French decide to change their vision of the bank by opening a bank account in an online bank. But how does one open an account online and what are the procedures to follow as well as the different advantages and disadvantages of this type of account ? This is what we suggest you discover here with detailed explanations.
What is an online bank account ?
As its name indicates, an online bank account a bank account is all that there is more classical, with the difference that its opening as its management are solely on the Internet.
What are banks a bit new, the online banks which offer this type of bank account, including offering more attractive prices than the traditional banks and a management more convenient, from home and without any intermediary.
Offers bank accounts online are more numerous and it is easy to find the bank that suits his needs depending on his personal situation and his projects.
What are the requirements to open a bank account with an online bank ?
As for a traditional bank, a person resident on French territory may open a bank account with an online bank. However, other conditions must be met including :
- To be major : The opening of a current account online requires that you have the legal age of majority at least 18 years of age. Minors and emancipated may also request the opening of a bank account online but this will require the permission of the legal guardian. The major persons and under guardianship or trusteeship will also have to provide this authorization and to follow a procedure of opening special.
- Not to have prohibited a bank : If banks have any obligation to agree to open a bank account regardless of income, to persons subject to a prohibited bank will not be able to open an account with the online banks. This is the reason why banks ask the Bank of France in order to verify this filing. It is important to note that if you are under the blow of a ban on banking, the law authorizes you to have access to a bank account with basic services such as a RIB or IBAN, the sample by the TOP, bank transfers, account statements, deposit and withdrawal of cash, the consultation of the account and an atm card to a permission. However, it is necessary to go to the Bank of France closest to your home to ask to benefit from the procedure of right to an account.
What documents are needed to open a bank account with an online bank ?
Online banks, in the same way that traditional banks require customers wishing to open a bank account, a number of supporting documents including :
- An identity document : identity Card or passport.
- A proof of address in the form of an official document such as a rent receipt, a phone bill or electricity.
- Finally, your signature will also be required to ensure that the bank has a specimen of the signature used to verify whether it was you who issued some further documents.
These different elements must be provided to the bank of your choice and will be verified by vote banker as required by the French legislation. In effect, a bank that carries on banking business, physical or online, has the legal obligation to control the information concerning their clients.
All of the items listed above are the only items that you will need to provide for the opening of a bank account with any bank online. But some banks may also ask you for other documents and supporting documents to verify the information before opening a bank account. This is the case, for example, pay slips or the last tax notice. If you are not an employee, you will be able to provide any other document relating to your income as a certificate of a CAF, ASSEDIC, or other. Without these documents, a bank has the right to refuse to open a bank account to its customers.
The minor must also provide a booklet of the family. Persons under a legal disability must also submit a judge's order of guardianship and a copy of the final judgment.
Among the other elements to provide, it is also necessary to speak of a first deposit is often required when the revenues are not domiciled in the institution in question. Thus, a cheque or a bank transfer may be required prior to any opening in a concrete of a current account. This amount will serve as a guarantee to the bank for the payment of fees in current bank, but this money can of course be used by the account holder. The amount of this initial deposit varies from one bank to another.
A opening bank account online is it more simple ?
This is one of the main advantages of online banks. In effect, open a bank account with a bank online is obviously easier than opening one with a bank physically since everything is done on the Internet without the need to move to the agency. Online banks are at the disposal of its future customers are online forms to fill out and electronically validate. A folder is then sent by the bank to the client, and the client just needs to validate it, sign it, and return it with the required documents.
Some online banks also offer procedures more simple and does not require reference zip of a folder with a simple electronic signature and sending documents electronically, but this type of procedure is still rare. Of course, when everything is done online, the procedure is secure and guarantees the confidentiality of the information transmitted.
Once your bank account is actually opened, you will be notified by mail or email. You will then need to activate your account. To do this, and as we have mentioned above, you will have most of the time make a first deposit money on your account. If your online bank does not require a first deposit required, you will need to wait for the payment of your salary or your income before your account is permanently active.
You will then have access to your personal space and secure on the website of the online bank where you opened your account. You can choose different options and do all the transactions included in your offer such as transfers, deposits and withdrawals, bank checks or withdrawals.
If you are already a customer of another bank and want to change it to open a bank account with an online bank, be aware that some banks may be in charge of the legwork for you, including ensuring that your various debits are taken into account.
What are the benefits to open a bank account with an online bank ?
This is not without reason if online banks attract each year more and more of the world. In fact, open an account online has many advantages that we offer you to discover here.
The bank charges : This is of course the large strong point of the online banks which offer bank fees much less expensive than those of traditional banks. Some online banks offer the same banking accounts without any charge current, with sometimes even the bank card free of charge under certain conditions. This is possible thanks to the fact that online banks have fewer operating costs than agencies physical. In general, the economy can reach 50% compared to a traditional bank.
Savings more interesting : In addition to their offers current accounts, online banks offer savings books online. Called » supes booklets, the booklets online savings do not generally have no running costs and an attractive remuneration that can reach the triple of what was proposed in the other banks. The welcome offers are more often proposed in the form of an even higher rate, or a welcome bonus.
The opportunity to invest in the Stock market at lower cost : The investment products are also the most attractive among the online banks that do not charge for example no fees on the payments and may offer the trade-offs with remuneration attractive on the fund by euro life insurance and stock exchange orders online that can be 10 times less expensive than those of traditional banks.
A greater flexibility of usage : You wish to save time in daily life and be more effective in the management of your money ? Through your secure customer area, you can perform all your banking operations from home or elsewhere since many of these banks offer a mobile app. Of course, if you need advice or have a question about the operation of your bank account, advisors can be contacted during opening hours, and extended using modern means such as chat or interview via webcam. The purchase of a new product or service is also done in a few clicks by uploading a simple file or its signature online.
Innovations : frequent: by their operation 2.0, online banks are betting their success on innovation and regularly propose new services and technological innovations that simplify the lives of their clients.
A better reachability : are You tired of having to ask a day off or lose the time to reach a counselor during the opening hours of the offices ? Online banks has the advantage of being much more available to listen to you and respond to you. It is thus possible to join the counselors for the weekend and even up to 21 hours in the evening.
In the Face of all these advantages, it would be a shame not to take advantage of online banks for opening a bank account.
What are the concerns with opening a bank account online ?
Some people are attracted to online banks but raise some issues in the face of reluctance special. Here are some arguments that will convince you of the benefits of this type of banks.
— The lack of human contact : By opening a bank account with an online bank, you will, of course, a bank advisor is dedicated that you can attach if needed and who will be in charge of your file. In addition, you will have the option at any time to attach to a physical person, with schedules much larger and better responsiveness than what was proposed in the traditional banks. On the other hand, if you feel secure, you will have the opportunity to discuss with your advisor by webcams interposed. The human contact is always preferred by the banks in line.
- Access conditions more stringent : It is a belief absolutely unfounded about the online banks, since the conditions for opening an account are roughly the same as for traditional banks. If some banks want to be more selective with revenues minimum required, there are a wide variety of offers that fit everyone. It is therefore wrong to think that online banks are not accessible to all. It is enough to choose the right bank among the wide range of agencies online.
- The complex steps taken for change of bank : For a start, you should know that most online banks are willing to grant you a bank account even if you do not want to separate you from your current bank. On the other hand, in case of change of bank to an online bank, dedicated services are in charge of everything in your place. Also, all the administrative part concerning the communication of your new bank details to your creditors for example will be supported by your bank online and you will not have to worry about anything. It is therefore perfectly possible to change from bank to bank online as easy as to open a first bank account online.
- Deposits of cash, impossible : It is also wrong to think that you can't deposit cash on a bank account online. In fact, by visiting a post office to make a cash order, you will be able to deposit money cash into your current account in the same way as you would do with a classic account. On the other hand, some online banks dependent on a network of traditional banking allow deposits of species in an agency such as Hello Bank at the counters of BNP Paribas or Monbanq in the network of the Crédit Mutuel.
- The inability to cash a check : again, believe that the internet bank accounts do not allow you to cash a check is a misconception. By opening a bank account with an online bank, you will have an envelope already with postage included, through which you can send your cheques will be cashed directly into your account immediately upon their receipt. The only difference will reside in the collection period for which may be longer than a day or two.
- Little credit opportunity : If it is true that i was a few years ago, online banks did not actually credit offers, it is not the case today. In fact, these days, more and more online banks begin to offer loans of all kinds to their customers. Some brands such as Boursorama Bank or Monabanq even offer large loans such as mortgages with attractive rates. It is of course possible to take a consumer loan or a reservation of money in most banks.
In what online bank to open a current account ?
Now that you are convinced of the advantage of opening a bank account with an online bank, it only remains for you to choose a bank that suits you. The offer is relatively large, it is best to compare the different types of accounts with their conditions, and their advantages and disadvantages in order to find a package suited to your needs.
You can easily find comparative online like the one we offer on our site and give you an overview of all the major online banks and their specific characteristics with, among others, the fees, interest rates, and possibly the promotions and special offers.

However, seven years prior to this happening, this wheelie was actually photographed and included in the book The American Legion in Cleveland.
Wheelies, also known as wheelstands, are actually very difficult stunts and much more complicated than popping a wheelie when on a bicycle or a motorcycle.

Admiral C4C. ABOUT Coming to Romania

Admiral C4C (b. in Lagos, Nigeria) has been active on Romanian TV during the past couple of years, promoting the Me Bunga, O.M.G. and Boom Bang singles.
RiCo for CZB.ro: When did you first come to Romania?
Admiral C4C: My girl was into music, with the female band 3elle. One day I came home and I was chilling out on Facebook and I saw three girls chasing fellow musicians; before you knew it, my future wife was coming to asking me about my music. Then she proposed a collaboration… and back then I didn't know anything about Romania. I knew people from Romania: Alexandra Stan, Inna, Fly Project… but I didn't know they were from Romania.
So I said, "OK, if you want to do music with me, this is what you have to do" …and then we were communicating officially. We started getting close until it came to record the song: Boom Bang.
So then they were telling me: we have a good producer, that producer from Alexandra Stan. I actually worked with the same House production that produced Alexandra Stan (MediaPro Music). I thought, this is going to be nice.
- OK tell your producer to send me any instrumentals they want me to work on and we'll do it. So i received the instrumentals, which I listened to again and again; then I composed the music, then I named it Heart Seizure, It was featuring the trio my girl was singing with.
The first time I stepped on this land (2012), I was here for 8 days; I got here through the internet and she ended up being the mother of my son.
I was Omega C4C at that time, not Admiral C4C.
What we do in Cyprus is far from what you do here. She was crazy about me. It is nothing compared to what we do there; it is all about Party, Party.
She was very interested in what kind of a guy am I, that I am always in PARTY videos? I saw her as a FAN, nothing more. She was talking to my management and trying to get me to come to Romania. I came for a gig and got paid, and then the next evening we met to talk and I couldn't believe it. The first time I was here it was crazy. I came here for the parties; it was crazy parties, crazy hype, crazy everything. ---
That was the first time I came to Romania and it was splendid.
I just love Romania. Everything was so nice.
Then I went back to Cyprus, where it was recorded. I did the voice and recorded the song, then sent it back for them to do the mixing and mastering - and that was it.
Then I was already having a relationship with the girl. So she was coming to Cyprus to see me and one of those times, the manager, Mr. Fane Nagy, from the Semnal M Band, who was representing the girl band in Romania, talked to me about going on an 8 city tour together with 3elle.
Those people actually brought me into the Romanian scene. So that was it and, before you knew it, my girl was pregnant and that is the main reason I changed my priorities from my music career to my personal life.
I am the kind of guy, like I told you, that looks after his family.
I only asked her, "do you want to keep it?" She said Yes.
- OK, then it's a responsibility to be there for her and the child.
I was now obsessed about my son. I must be there.
I flew to Romania to take care of her and was insisting to take her down to Cyprus.
She was saying: I am only here because my mom has cancer and she is her only daughter. So I had just one option: if I want to be with her, I have to be around them. I knew I could not stay permanently though.
I think that was the first time I met you, Richard.
Along the line, after we fell in love and had the baby, then there was a possibility of taking care of the son and being more often in Romania. My musical interests in this reason - music here is seen from another angle and there is not much I want to say about that… all I know is that we all have to add up our own little efforts to make it better.
Admiral C4C: I had a problem. How can I be operating in Cyprus from here? My girl said that she'd been working in the music business for a while and she knows some people, and that they were all interested in me.
I was on the road all the time during this period. One week here, then back to Cyprus; then I'd come back for another week, and would be invited to appear on TV.
So she said, "the people like your music. If you really care about us, why don't you sign something here and then you can keep the income coming".
I was very scared about abandoning Cyprus.
Cyprus is the only life I knew then.
She was giving me hope that I could be whatever I wanted to be, and that I should start thinking outside the box. That was when I started thinking about having something to do here with the music.
Then she introduced me to the Semnal M guy, Fane Nagy, who started taking me to TV shows and confirming gigs for me.
So he then told me that we had to shoot a song.
ABOUT Commercial Music Productions
Then I met some guys that called themselves Commercial Music Productions; they are a DJ Set from Cluj. My girl introduced me. He's an ambitious young man. He lacks real knowledge in the business but he is very ambitious and I liked his spirit. I remember I told him, "Chriss, I like your spirit and I like what you are about. You know what? What you're proposing, I'm going to do with you. I don't really believe in the so called big names".
It depends on you if you want to be there. So if you want me to do anything with you, you owe me something, you owe me the determination and the spirit of never say die. It's the only thing I see that you can be able to conquer whatever.
So we did a song then, Me Bunga. We were trying to put together a video for this. Then the Semnal M guy was still my manager, but he turned into a supervisor for this project because he knew me from the word Go.
The people around me tried to make me understand that I was bigger than this; this is not what you need for your music now and i was trying to convince the video production team of my own way of reasoning. Anybody can do anything; why don't we just give them a chance? Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
I had to tell him what was happening now, "whatever you want to continue to do musically, I owe it to you: my contact, my phone is open to you at any time. Whatever you want to do, concerning music, I am ready to support you with my talent and expertise but I think, because the Seminal M guy has always been my adviser, I think I have to move on to the next level".
Then I moved on to Adi Tetrade. "OK", I said, "let's have a trial with this; before we put anything down on paper, let's see how we do with the promotion of this one". They agreed.
For that same song Me Bunga, when they said it wasn't good enough, I contacted one of the partners in Italy. I traveled to Italy to redo that song and Me Bunga was produced by them, but they always outsource to mix and master.
My girl introduced me to someone new again, called Adi Cristescu, a musician in Bucharest. Splendid. In my history of music, that is one of the best guys I have dealt with regarding mixing and mastering.
He mixed and mastered Me Bunga, after which Anthony Icuagu, final touched the video and I gave it to Adi Tetrade, just lying low there, doing nothing.
I don't need to waste my material with these producers; it's a political thing here.
If the music is not produced by YOU, you don't feel an obligation to release the music.
I fly in my DJ every time I need him (DJ M.I.G., resident at two clubs in Vilnius, Lithuania); we are still working together.
I just mean to tell you the kind of person I am. There is something the streets taught me: loyalty and honesty to people you are close to. If I love you or I see you as something that is part of me …then I take a bullet for you in the street. That is my way of reasoning.
ABOUT the Nigerian Music Scene
One good thing about me now is that almost all the lads I left back in Nigeria are playing in the top game now. Nigeria's Music Industry has escalated beyond whatever we could have ever imagined. If I knew that the music industry was going to be like this, probably after I finished my education, I would have gone back home. An average national artist in Nigeria earns nothing less of 5,000 euros for a spot in a playback show. We are big; playing on the same level with America. After petroleum, the next successful industry in Nigeria is the Music Business. And the word Black Race is Mighty. Almost all international TV stations have their own outlets in Nigeria now for Africa. If you are an artist and you are promoted on TV in Nigeria, you can be sure that 70% of the Black Race has seen you.

Roman Polanski, Fugitive and Hollywood Hero
ZURICK: In 1977 Roman Polanski, then aged 44, seduces a 13 year old girl, Samantha Gailey. According to court transcripts Polanski first lures the young unescorted girl into posing for nude and semi-nude photos.
Her mother thought he was photographing her to consider her for upcoming screen roles, but Polanski had something else in mind. In his second photo shoot at the home of Jack Nicholson he gives the 13 yr-old alcohol, and to make sure she becomes compliant to his sexual advances gives her quaaludes. When she was sufficiently pacified he raped and sodomized her.
The crime, flight from justice are old news. But what is disturbing is the reaction of Hollywood and the entertainment industry to his recent arrest by Swiss police.
Polanski was arrested and was initially charged with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. After his conviction he fled the country and has been at large until his recent arrest by Swiss authorities September 30, 2009.
What makes this case so interesting are the statements by Hollywood elite who have come to his defense. According to the Guardian, names include Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Harvey Weinstein, Pedro Almodóvar and Ethan Coen, among many others. Their position was articulated by Whoopi Goldberg on The View. These Hollywood rapist apologists would like for you to listen to them and their "reasonable dialogue." The problem with this is the court transcript which details the heinous crime by this 44 year old monster, perpetrated on a 13 year old innocent. You can read the transcript at the SmokingGun.com.
We can understand a vicious criminal trying to escape punishment, but what does it say about the Hollywood elite who wish to excuse it?
We say to all his defenders: READ THE TRANSCRIPT. Then if you can still defend him, thanks for the warning. That tells us a lot about you. Maybe some day you'll end up in our NIP Hall of Shame.

Safari Drone Photography: Know Before You Go
Drone photography has really taken off in recent years (pardon the pun). We've all seen incredible footage shot from drones: watched wild landscapes open up before us or looked down on places we thought we knew well, yet discovered anew from this bird's eye view.
It's an exciting field of photography. I mean who want to fly a drone; learning to make it hover and soar, capturing unique images and highly shareable videos? What's more costs are coming down as technology rapidly improves – and it's really no surprise that we're getting more and more queries from clients wanting to take a drone on safari.
Here then is everything you need to know before you pack your drone.
Firstly, the Issues & Concerns
Being reserves the first concern, naturally, is for the wildlife they're protecting. Studies have shown that flying a drone back and forth over animals' heads can cause them stress. There have even been stories of the inconsiderate use of drones resulting in an already-skittish column of wildebeest abandoning a river crossing, or a protective elephant and her young taking flight in panic.
The general rule amongst safari guides is that should your actions affect the behaviour of the animals you're observing, then you're going about your job wrong. And while game drive vehicles stop a respectful distance from their sighting, there will always be that temptation for visitors to fly their drone in closer to get that stand-out footage.
The other consideration is for fellow safari goers. People cross continents to get out into the wilds of Africa and, once there, certainly don't want someone else's drone buzzing about their heads. Also, should a drone cause an animal to walk (or run!) away, it'll ruin the sighting for everyone else.
This elephant in Botswana's Chobe Region was photographed by Paul Souders using a drone.
OK, But What Are The Laws?
In general drones are not permitted in national parks. The first country to clamp down on this was South Africa, which banned the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (such as drones) in all their national parks - particularly Kruger. There are strict consequences for breaking these no-fly zones, with the possibility of being arrested and your equipment seized.
Botswana soon followed with all their game parks and wildlife sanctuaries considered restricted fly areas. It is possible to apply for a permit for Botswana's parks, but should you be caught flying a drone in a way that disturbs the animals you could be fined up to 5,000 pula (USD 470).
In Kenya too you need to apply for permission from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). There are consequences here too: in January an Austrian tourist was arrested in Amboseli for illegally flying a drone. He was taken to court and, on admitting guilt, fined 50,000 shillings (around USD 490).
And What About Private Reserves?
Some private reserves and concessions do allow drones for photography or filming. You'll probably need to hire your own vehicle (at an additional cost) so that you don't disturb the other guests. But then you can also take your time to set up without people getting impatient.
Keep a careful eye on the behaviour of the animal that you're filming, remembering that you're a visitor on their home ground. And just bear in mind that should your drone happen to crash, there's a good chance of you not getting it back.
If drone photography isn't permitted on game drives, you might still be able to fly around the lodge. These properties are built in spectacular locations. Indeed for me it's Africa's great landscapes that shine through best in drone photography, that bird's eye view as your soar over a sand dune or alone a wild coastline with nobody else in sight.

The unit is simplicity itself with only four clearly labeled buttons that activate Emergency, Help, Check-in and Tracking.
If you travel in Baja, reliable communication is always an issue. Cell phones do not work throughout certain areas. For example, my Verizon works great in the Cabo area, La Paz and as far down as San Quintin on Mex 1, but it does NOT work in Magdalena Bay, East Cape or many of the remote areas that I visit. So now, I carry a Mexican cell phone as well in order to stay in touch. My other option up to this point in time has been to carry a Sat phone, which is very expensive.
When I spotted SPOT at the Fred Hall Show earlier this year I was intrigued. According to the person manning the booth, SPOT is a Satellite Personal Tracker-the next generation of PLB's (Personal Locator Beacon).
The small, waterproofed and rugged 6 ounce handheld unit seemed to be packed with features that would solve some of the Baja communication problems I encounter. With a simple press of a button, I could determine my GPS location and send it along with a pre-programmed message to the contacts I designate over commercial communications satellites – in real time.
The unit is simplicity itself with only four clearly labeled buttons that activate Emergency, Help, Check-in and Tracking.
· 911-button notifies GEOS International Emergency Response Center of life-threatening events. The GEOS Emergency Response Center will contact public response agencies around the world, and call your emergency contacts to keep them informed of rescue progress. GEOS works with all rescue agencies from the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and Coast Guard to local urban and rural 9-1-1 call centers. Optionally, GEOS will also dispatch private rescue agencies in those countries where public resources won't do. Spot continues to send a message and location update every 5 minutes until cancelled.
· Help-button sends a text message to the cell phones and an email with a link to Google Maps to designated contacts indicating that you need help and your location. The message and location updates every 5 minutes for an hour or until cancelled.
· OK\Check in-button informs your contacts of your location and that you're okay. It then saves your location for later viewing on the SPOT web service using Google Maps.
· OK\Check in-button held down for 5 seconds will activate tracking. Then it updates your outdoor position every 10 minutes to your SPOT web account, which in turn updates a Google map that can be accessed by your SPOT team.
SPOT service will also create a web page which will provide tracking information easily accessed by anyone you choose by simply sending them the link.
So far the unit has worked perfectly during my Road Trekker trips. Allowing my team to monitor my progress as I travel and even confirm where I have stopped for the night.
The uses for SPOT are limited only by your imagination. After seeing my unit in operation, several of my friends decided they needed one…but for different reasons. One wanted to use it when he was fishing off of San Diego. With the SPOT unit, he can let his family and friends know he's okay when he can't get through on his cell or VHF. Another thought SPOT would be an ideal backup at his home in Baja if he lost power and telephone service during a hurricane. With the unit, he can notify his friend's world-wide that he's okay.
The SPOT is one more inexpensive electronic communication tool that is a welcome addition for anyone who travels anywhere…in remote locations, on land or water.
I now carry my SPOT on ALL of my trips and have set up a special link which will demonstrate how SPOT works. I will display my travels on my next Baja trip. If you would like to see how it works. Go to the upper left hand corner to locate the SPOT link. If you are interested, bookmark the page and you can monitor my Road Trekkers Travels when I leave on my next road trip in early October.
Enthusiasm is my friend; my email is firstname.lastname@example.com.

A rainbow appeared over New Haven, Missouri this week, but it was missing something — color.
Tammi Elbert wasn't sure what she was seeing, so she did what any photographer would do. She took a picture of it.
"I was driving into patches of fog and I kept seeing what I thought was a rainbow," she told ABC News on Tuesday.
"When I first saw it, I thought it was maybe an optical illusion. I was pretty intrigued and I knew I've seen it before I didn't realize how rare it was."
#Foggy #rainbow over #newhavenmo @yourtake @SteveTempleton @FOX2now @StormHour @usatodayweather @weatherchannel pic.twitter.com/81FQl95iiX— Tammi Elbert (@TammiElbert) August 22, 2016
Turns out a rainbow minus the color is a weather phenomenon called a fogbow, which a friend told Elbert when she posted the photo to Facebook and Twitter.
"Nature sure has a way of making us go wow," one friend wrote on her Facebook page.
Elbert tagged The Weather Channel, which then explained on its website that "this ghostly rainbow differs from its multicolored cousin mainly in the size of water drops acting on incoming sunlight."
With a rainbow, "the raindrops are large enough to act like a prism, first reflecting a small fraction of sunlight within the drop, then refracting or bending white light's component colors on distinct paths back to your eye," the weather channel explained.
The droplets in fog, however, are much smaller — too small to reflect and refract light like raindrops.
Instead, the light diffracted "from these tiny droplets, clashing together and interfering in a haze of white or gray, rather than taking the neat, distinct, colorful paths from refraction in raindrops," said the weather experts.
Whatever their meteorological DNA, fogbows sure make pretty photos.

"It's kind of eerie, they're really beautiful though," Elbert told ABC. "You just see this big, white rainbow and it's very usual."
